Phys.org / Atoms vibrate on circular paths—with an unexpected twist
An international team of researchers, including scientists from HZDR and Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, for the first time directly observed how angular momentum is transferred and conserved within a crystal ...
Medical Xpress / Fear memories fade faster when brain immune cells engage key neurons, study suggests
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorders are often characterized by fearful responses in specific situations that the mind learns to view as threatening. These fearful responses typically emerge following ...
Science X / Cities are rewriting growth rules as wealth rises, pollution drops and a long-assumed link starts to break
Cities are a double-edged sword. They provide plenty of job opportunities, and most of the world's money is made in them, but on the other hand, they create most of the planet's pollution. For decades, the prevailing view ...
Phys.org / 80 years after the Trinity nuclear test, scientists identify new molecule-trapping crystal formed in the blast
Matter behaves strangely under extreme conditions, and often, remnants of these behaviors are left behind even when conditions return to normal. The Trinity nuclear test in 1945 left behind such remnants, and now, 80 years ...
Phys.org / 'Elegant triangle' experiment suggests quantum internet may be closer than we think
For more than 60 years, Bell's theorem has been the gold standard for demonstrating that quantum mechanics defies the rules of classical physics. Now, an international team of researchers, including Constructor University ...
Tech Xplore / Governments may shape what AI chatbots say by shaping the web they learn from
Ask an AI model the same political question in two different languages, and you may get two very different responses. A new study in Nature suggests one reason why: governments can indirectly influence large language models ...
Phys.org / A deep‑ocean climate plan wins rare EPA approval, but is sinking plants in the sea the answer?
Innovators who are working on ways to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to fight climate change are having a tough time lately.
Phys.org / The first domesticated horses: 6,000 years of a complex story
Horses were being ridden, worked, and traded long before anyone thought it possible. New research pushes back the accepted timeline of human use of horses by centuries, showing that humans used horses in organized ways as ...
Phys.org / Why climate action stalls, despite widespread popular support
What's the link between the global economy and the climate? Consumption drives extraction and carbon emissions. But there is more. The inequalities of the global economy don't just shape what goes into the atmosphere. They ...
Phys.org / Gravitational wave detectors can now 'autotune' signals to harmonize the heavens
Gravitational wave researchers working on the world's most sensitive scientific instruments have found a way to tune their detectors using a process akin to the pitch-correction used in music production.
Medical Xpress / Peppermint oil can lower blood pressure, clinical trial finds
Daily doses of peppermint oil have been proved to lower blood pressure for patients with mildly high readings, new research has found. A team of University of Lancashire academics discovered a daily intake of 100 microliters ...
Phys.org / Dual spacecraft capture both hemispheres of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS at once
The Southwest Research Institute-led Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instruments aboard ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft and NASA's Europa Clipper made unique observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS ...
